I have always found that, a big step out while giving the body a half turn and letting the tank bring you through surface works best for me.

Seemed a lot higher looking down at the water.
You've any idea how high 5 m is looking down when you're 9yo? Takes very big guts the first time.
The vast majority had no idea what was below them when they jumped (busy looking at the camera) and at least one diver had to be grabbed by the harness to stop him jumping backwards on to his dive buddy who had just splashed! If the crew hadn't been as aware, I reckon there would have been quite a few smashed masks and skulls from connection with ali tanks.
